The elephant conumdrum

I wait 40 minutes to give you an answer, tell you the elephant weights more.  I win.

While you were waiting, I had someone switch out the elephant for a lighter one.

You still lose

Nah, I win cause you didn't do the sensible thing and say you fill the truck with MORE WATER.  Instead, you're having someone switch out the elephant for a lighter one.  Now I can see the elephant, and just before you weight it -- tell you the elephant weights less.

Is this elephant pink?

This thread took a weird turn.

Pink elephants for everyone !!!

This story could be written any number of ways, but this is how I wanted to word it.

It's nearly high noon in the Serengeti and from the hilltop you are standing on you can see an elephant grazing on the tall grass and a truck that contains a very large container of water. The container of water is open and in the hot environment, water is evaporating from the container.

The elephant and the truck, with the container of water, were both weighed this morning and the truck weighed more than the elephant. At some point today, as the water evaporates the elephant eats more, the elephant will weigh more than the truck.

There is a team of professionals parked a certain distance away that will travel to this site and weigh both the elephant and truck. Given the terrain and accidents that can happen along the way, it is unknown when the team will arrive to weigh both.

Should the team arrive with no trouble, it will take them about 30 minutes to get here.
Should there be trouble, more than likely, it will take more than an hour for them to get here.

I'm going to bet you that you cannot correctly guess which will weigh more, when the team arrives to weigh the elephant and truck. Additionally, I am going to tell you that no matter which one you pick, you will always be wrong.

As an added bonus, I'm going to allow you a phone call directly to god, to ask him which one will weigh more when the team arrives to weigh both the elephant and the truck with the large open container of water.

When you ask god which one will weigh more when the team arrives to weigh them both, 
god replies "If you believe that what I tell you is the truth, then you will always be wrong. If you believe that what I tell you is a lie, then I will always be right."

Given the information, what other questions would you like to ask god that might give you some insight on winning the bet.

How much do elephant farts weigh? It's an essential component of my calculations!

After conversing with FSM it has confirmed it never makes bets, Not after a rather unfortunate night in Vegas in 1998.

What a coincidence, I won a full set of pirate regalia in a back room poker game in Vegas in 98.

Well, at some point they could.

You said that no matter which ONE we picked, we'd be wrong--Essentially informing us that you, in all your divine knowledge and intervention, know that they will be weighed in the precise moments when they are of equal weight.

So knock it off, God! I want my money!

When weighed, they won't ever weigh the same because I control when they get weighed. I'll either have a team arrive early and the truck will weigh more or have a team arrive later when the elephant weighs more.

Will it have a mass displacement greater than, lesser than, or equal to, a duck?
